using snort 1.9.0 a majority of the time when I use insert the -l option in snort packet logger mode I get a segmentation fault. It does write to the screen just fine and on occasion (1 out of 10 times) it does write successfully to the log. I haven't been able to find any documentation on this. anyone experience something similar?
First off: Upgrade to 1.9.1 or disable rpc_decode in snort.conf. Does Snort dump a core when that happens, or does it just segfault? If it dumps a core, please check out the BUGS file and follow those instructions. Basically it's: # gdb snort snort.core gdb> bt And then send the output with any other information over to the snort-developers list. Also include the output from: grep -v '^#' snort.conf | grep -v '^$' That will give us a better idea of what's going on. Cheers! ----- Erek Adams "When things get weird, the weird turn pro." H.S.
